My baby is here! So much effort went in to the creation of this bicycle, and we're all really proud of it. If you could have a slogan painted on your bike, what would it be?
hi Ryan, I'm new in your channel, your channel just pop while watching some travel vlog, but anyways, watching your videos especially the great divide,love that your w/ mira! gets me more boost to assemble my old 26er MTB classic. I'm still working on the frame,I got it from a junkyard. I'm one of your fan now! I'm from the Philippines by the way 😊
When I first saw the price I quite frankly thought it was absurd. But I researched and researched and it's really quite a miracle that you guys did get the price down to 3500. Literally every other bike in this class to 5 grand plus. Can't wait to grab one
My baby will be here next week and I can't wait. I'm so excited I lay awake at night dreaming about the adventures we will have together and wake up to go online and learn as much as I can about her each morning. The countdown has begun - 5 Days to the new B-Day. Ryan thanks for all the hard work with the good folks at Priority and BTW man you are so funny...🤩
I got one Ryan !!!! after waiting for 3 months it came via fedex and I ordered the wrong size...had to send it back and get a smaller size...it arrived yesterday...yippee I put it together and rode it...awesome bike... the staff at priority are amazing, so understanding and helpful...I feel like part of their family❤ PS I did not get my can of refried beans...lol
Well Ryan, I just now took a leap of faith and put a deposit down for the Priority 600X; The most expensive bike I have ever attempted to purchase. I know, I know! The bike is a good deal considering how much bike I am getting for the money. But you gave such a great recommendation for this bike that I believe it to be a great purchase and a good deal in the long run. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your great videos!
I found this company because of your videos. These bikes are so cool. I just donated on their website to get kids on bikes! Now, I just need to get myself on one!
Hey Duzer-great video. You’ve got me stoked now and can hardly wait for my 600x to arrive from the first shipment. I purchased as a direct result of your salesmanship skills for this ride. You’re a great ambassador for Priority and all the components on the bike. Can hardly wait to get this out on the rooty rocky trails in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont!
He really has been. I'm so jonsing for a bike with a Pinion gearbox now... BUT, I just picked up a beautiful used Co-Motion coupled tandem, so there goes the new bike budget for now! Oh well. It's not like you can actually buy a new bike right now anyway. Everything's sold out with LONG lead times. (Santa Cruz Bikes is currently 14 months out...)
that is a super-solid machine. it might be obvious but worth mentioning that the internal gearing setup allows your rear wheel to be symmetrically laced, making it much more stable than a dished wheel. the efficiency losses through your drive-train are substantial and for that reason wouldnt be for me, but having watched some of your vids i can definitely see why it would work for you as an all-conditions no-nonsense solution for whatever nature throws your way. all the appointments on this build look very thoughtful and right on the money. thank you for sharing
OOOH! Can't wait for mine to get here! Supposed to get it by the end of the month. They have been great people to work with, and sounds like everything about the production bike is as good (or actually better!) than your test mule! I love that they even send touch-up paint. I take care of my stuff, and have had a lot of bikes over the years, and have to say that is the first time I have ever seen that happen. Nice touch! You really hooked up with a great outfit Ryan. Thanks to you and the Priority Bike team. I hope this becomes a great seller for them, and "Gets" them as well as the Gates & Pinion drive train more "Out There" with the mountain biking population. Pete
I started watching your channel late last summer and after 40 years of backpacking this 67 year old is going to try bikepacking on the Divide this summer, You sold me not only on backpacking but also the 600X. I can't wait to get delivery in early April and hitting the trail in late June. Thanks Ryan!!!
A relatively Light, 350 Watt front motor would flatten most hill's, eliminating any more "Hike-A-Bike"... especially with a Pinion and a IGH!. A few studs on the front tire along with a 36 Volt 350 Watt front hub, will make this an All season All Terrain Bike for some awesome Frozen Lake drifting in the Winter. You put together a Great Machine Ryan... with all those components, I could not build the same bike for less than these bikes are selling for! This is a clean build! Well done!
Congrats on the bike coming to fruition! It looks completely spot-on for bikepacking. I have been watching gearbox bikes coming along and I can honestly say that this is the first time I'm thinking I'd pull the trigger if my current bike gets stolen. It's new so I'm at the back of the line, I guess. When you put your weight on the bike to show total fork lockout I was struck by how solid the bike was - great kickstand!
Just so you know pinion gearboxes eat gear oil. Honestly I don't know where it goes. Adding a little oil every 1000 miles will keep it from being hard to pedal. Also keep the belt a little looser than recommend.
Following on from my earlier comment. Mine has arrived today here in the UK. I can't wait for the Easter weekend now to get out on it. And yes, they do feel big. I'm about the same size as Ryan, and let's say its snug to the cross bar. But I like the spacious feeling when on the move. It looks great in the sun too the metallic paint really look fantastic
Congrats on your collaboration on a sweet whip. Very interested in the modifications they've made in the production model over your proto. The industry seems to be struggling right now with manufacturing and shipping and it's tough to find new bikes, but we can always live through you. Happy Trails.
OK I put my 500.00 down and now I wait for Q3 to get my bike. I will try and get it delivered to somewhere in Montana and ride it home along the GDMBR north to at least Banff and maybe all the way to Hinton we'll see. Oh ya and.... I gave you full credit for me buying this bike.
This is going to make a lot of bikepackers very happy, myself included. I think it’s a safe bet that over half of 600x buyers would also buy a well-built frame bag that used all of those great mounting points. I see a great Duzer merch opportunity!
Hey Ryan you are the best! You show to the world that it's possible to travel even with a semi mtb... It's not necessary a super mega hyper expensive gravel bike, it's enough even a normal mtb to travel, and I repeat that from so loooooong! Anyway I hope to see you in Europe, and in my hometown: Rome, Italy! My country got so many things to see: history, landscape (sea and mountains), food, people, etc etc. Off course when this covid time comes to end... Me and my wife watch your videos and your wonderful country all the time... We spend our honeymoon in California, so we'll be very happy to guest in our house! Cheers mate!
Awesome stuff. I'm sure I'll never get to Arkansas to ride this trail but it's a good-looking place. I wish the DMV was a little more MTB enthusiastic. 😊
Payment sent , just waiting on the shipping info. Just retired and hope to make bikepacking a mainstay in my activities. Love the color !!! 5'10" with 32 inch inseam. I ordered the med. Getting excited !!
Ryan I want this Bike so bad! But unfortunately I have a huge plans for touring this summer and it is just not in the budget. Having been a bicycle mechanic for the last 20 years the lack of maintenance this bike requires makes me very happy! I am trying to ride 20,000 km's this year and I would have loved to put this new bike through it's paces! But I will continue using a bike your very familiar with, the Trek 1120, she has been a awesome bike as well. Thanks for bringing us this sweet ride Ryan. Cheers
Pretty bike. Needs a Factory Float SC, dropper post, steel frame, shorter chain stays, MT-7's and much longer reach. I am really excited that the belt drive might catch on, and the prices might come down on the pinion gear box.
I knew how the pinion drive worked but never realized that the chainring moved separately from the crank till you were cranking it by hand. That was interesting! Enjoy the ride Ryan!
Ryan, thanks for all the insirational videos. I received two Priority 600x bikes a couple of weeks ago for my partner and myself. We are in Sydney Australia and the bikes are great! I was apprehensive because of all the nonsense I’d been reading about the Pinion shifters. My experience is that they are far far easier to use than trigger shifters and have so many advantages. Learning to change gear was simple and easy and the ability to dump a load of gears at once or when stationary is a huge advantage. Shifting is smooth and intuitive. Very happy with the bikes and excited about a multi day trip soon..
Tell us how is it to ride on cliffs and uneven landscape in Sydney and blue mountains? Is it easy to paddle with pinion compared to traditional gears? I have a wish to ride on every bike trail in Australia and New Zealand.
What a beautiful bike. I bought 2 Priority classic Gotham editions for my wife and I because of your recommendations for Priority bikes. They should have named this one the 600Z, with the z for duZer. Anyway, love your videos. Been subscribed since you had 17K subscribers. Keep em' coming! LoveCycles are some of the best videos on TH-cam.
How lucky you are! But it's logical, you worked so hard for this bike. Just like many followers, I ordered one too, but I'm on the waitlist. Enjoy you new bike!
I think I'll have to fly to New York to get mine. I'm planning to do the "Carretera Austral" in Chile next year and I'll need a bike with built in sturdiness. Dreaming with the beginning of my trip and say loud and clear: “No flatties, no crashies, no whammies!!". And have a great adventure, obviously. ;-)
I want to put A Burley Coho XC trailer on it. What size bolt will I need for the rear wheel attachment? Oh and I ordered 2 medium sizes. I will also want to put mud guards on the front and rear tires. Will this be a problem?
@@saulpinto4720 remember, Ryan doesn't own a car, so the savings he realizes every year on auto insurance alone almost equals a new Priority. Add to that cost of the car, maintenance and gas, and that IS a brand spanking new Priority every year! And think of what smokers spend every year on their habit. That too is a new bike. So if you can cut out the car, or smokes, or that daily latte (or two), then you'll save some real money for a bike! I always told my kids I'd buy 'em a new bike every year if I had to to make sure they never, ever, EVER smoked!!! (Luckily I never had to, but they still have nice bikes nonetheless...) I hope you can find a way to save up for that dream steed!
@@duzer Yes, so true. I have a 20 year old 26" Raley Wrangler. Will have to replace the rear derailleur soon. The worst time I had was when I freed downhill and all of a sodden the rear hub came loose and all the ball bearings scattered all over the road. Why am I still sitting here. Time to ride.
Looks like the perfect bike for what you do. I wonder if anyone considers trekking handle bars. I like them be becuse they provide several hand positions. And I can also stick my arms forward and lean over them somewhat to rest.
@@duzer Super excited to give it a spin through the Montana section of the Divide. My wife and I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now. Watching you spin out the miles on your Priority must have seeped through my subconscious mind, cause suddenly I just had to own one! :D
3500 dollars and one get some very sweet and unique parts on this bicycle that most will over look, as most want brand names..as I love things out left field...sweetness of a bicycle..
Thanks Ryan, your GDMBR videos are what sold it to me. My son wants to do the route one year with me, not sure about Bear country though.

Whoop whoop 🥳 Fantastic Bike!!! Congrats to the new daddy! Really cool to see a bike company working together with such a experienced bikepacker like you are.That makes so much sense! Goooood rides with that baby (one size smaller 😉)
I really hope they will offer normal shifters for the Pinion system, because personally I just can't stand gripshift. That's my main gripe with that system, and as much as it is a very viable solution for longterm usage for something like bikepacking, I would still not have it on something like an everyday trailbike given the weight + gripshift solution. For heavy duty use it has it's place in the market for sure, I just hope they sooner than later will provide proper shifters.
LOOKS GREAT! Mine should be here in a few weeks! Any suggestions for a wider rim wheelset to take the 2.8 tires for Baja/Desert conditions? (stock i25 a bit narrow for 2.8) Kinda wish it could come with i30ish rims to fit 2.2 up to 2.8 tires.
You are gonna LOVE it! I know that Eddie put on some 2.8 inchers just to see if it would fit, and they did with plenty of room to spare. The WTB website says that the i25's can take up to 2.8, but not ideal, not sure what the consequences are...maybe the tires would pull off the rim on tight corners? I'm not sure. I'll try to do some research!
I've also considered the possibility of wider rims that would pair well with wider tires and for more tread contact. If you change to WTB i29; i35 or i40 tough rims, the ERD(Effective Rim Diameter where the spoke nipple seats against) is within 1 mm. It's plausible that the outer rim can be switched to one of these rims and keep the original spokes and hubs. I am most likely staying with the original tires and rims to avoid adding weight, however, conditions like sand and soft terrain would benefit from a solution tailored to the environment.
@@duzer I have rcvd my bike and can confirm that 2.8 tires work OK. I mounted a Teravail Cumberland 2.6 and Teravail Coronado 2.8 (both actual measure the same 2.75") on an i40 rims and there was about 10mm clearance. No worries if the actual measure is under 2.8" but for big mud potential under 2.7 would be better.
Any concerns with getting parts for that fork if something breaks while on a trip? I spec more common parts on my bikes so if I need something it's easier to find in stock parts.
@@duzer Not only entertained but inspired, not just you but also those you meetup with! It is very hard to do adventures with a child needing 24/7 care, but we have done car road trips in India. I have to start documenting them!
My bike slogan......"keep moving forward". excited to see my 600x delivered in a couple of weeks!! Hope to break it in on the C&O Canal Towpath, then RAGBRAI ! see you all out there!
Great delivery Ryan - no ventouse required . Super smart bike !! Energy , enthusiasm and humour.... the Duzer is back - can’t wait to see you out and about when circumstances allow !! Shame we don’t have a priority stockist in the U.K. ( yet ) !!! Peace out !
@@duzer Your tire choice will also affect the clearance. If you go Medium make sure your stack and reach measurements will work for the Medium size. You might need a different stem length from stock.
@@duzer Please know... I'm not knocking the bike. My only uptick for steel is that if you crack your aluminum frame, someone will usually be able to weld it. You cracked the rack on your Trek on the Divide. If that was your frame? You'd have been in a heap of trouble. That said... I'm not knocking the Priority. It's a beautiful bike and one hell of an accomplishment. I love it.
Congratulations on the finished bike at long last! I'm saving up for my 600x, but I'm gonna take the train to NYC and ride that sucker back to Florida! Screw shipping, I am the porter!
Very excited in the queue to get my new bike! I ordered a medium 😀. Phoned priority today - just to check and it’s funny watching the video of you explaining how to measure you Ryan are a similar height to me so wasn’t sure how you ended up with a large. Will be getting a dropper post for sure. Great bike. Looking forward to getting mine can you tell 😘
=o I've never seen upside down forks on a bicycle before, I've seen them on motorbikes loads and always wondered why no ones ever put one on a bike, that's so cool! =)
My baby is here! So much effort went in to the creation of this bicycle, and we're all really proud of it. If you could have a slogan painted on your bike, what would it be?
Awesome sauce and super congratulations. Very slick built bike.
hi Ryan, I'm new in your channel, your channel just pop while watching some travel vlog, but anyways, watching your videos especially the great divide,love that your w/ mira! gets me more boost to assemble my old 26er MTB classic. I'm still working on the frame,I got it from a junkyard. I'm one of your fan now! I'm from the Philippines by the way 😊
Love it
Welcome to my channel, and have fun building up your bike!! Happy trails
@@duzer thanks 😊
I'm watching your vlog now. Your solo adventure in Nepal.
awesome! very nice place...all the quiet time you need.
I have been watching this channel for a few years and I don't know how my dude doesn't have more subscribers! I love how positive you are Ryan.
I appreciate you coming back year after year to watch my videos!
When I first saw the price I quite frankly thought it was absurd. But I researched and researched and it's really quite a miracle that you guys did get the price down to 3500. Literally every other bike in this class to 5 grand plus. Can't wait to grab one
1:15 it's the little things that make it worthwhile! pop,pop!
My baby will be here next week and I can't wait. I'm so excited I lay awake at night dreaming about the adventures we will have together and wake up to go online and learn as much as I can about her each morning. The countdown has begun - 5 Days to the new B-Day. Ryan thanks for all the hard work with the good folks at Priority and BTW man you are so funny...🤩
I got one Ryan !!!! after waiting for 3 months it came via fedex and I ordered the wrong size...had to send it back and get a smaller size...it arrived yesterday...yippee I put it together and rode it...awesome bike... the staff at priority are amazing, so understanding and helpful...I feel like part of their family❤ PS I did not get my can of refried beans...lol
Yay!!! I’m so glad that you were able to get the right fit!! I wish you all the best!!
Getting home after a long day at work, no Netflix just loading up some amazing Ryan.
Awww, I appreciate that!
Well Ryan, I just now took a leap of faith and put a deposit down for the Priority 600X; The most expensive bike I have ever attempted to purchase. I know, I know! The bike is a good deal considering how much bike I am getting for the money. But you gave such a great recommendation for this bike that I believe it to be a great purchase and a good deal in the long run. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your great videos!
My Priority 600x has just been delivered! Ryan you've inspired the new to me lifestyle of bikepacking and I'm so excited.
I found this company because of your videos. These bikes are so cool. I just donated on their website to get kids on bikes! Now, I just need to get myself on one!
Thank you so much!!! We really appreciate it
Hey Duzer-great video. You’ve got me stoked now and can hardly wait for my 600x to arrive from the first shipment. I purchased as a direct result of your salesmanship skills for this ride. You’re a great ambassador for Priority and all the components on the bike. Can hardly wait to get this out on the rooty rocky trails in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont!
You’re in for some fun Warren! It’ll be perfect for those trails.
He really has been. I'm so jonsing for a bike with a Pinion gearbox now...
BUT, I just picked up a beautiful used Co-Motion coupled tandem, so there goes the new bike budget for now!
Oh well. It's not like you can actually buy a new bike right now anyway. Everything's sold out with LONG lead times. (Santa Cruz Bikes is currently 14 months out...)
that is a super-solid machine. it might be obvious but worth mentioning that the internal gearing setup allows your rear wheel to be symmetrically laced, making it much more stable than a dished wheel. the efficiency losses through your drive-train are substantial and for that reason wouldnt be for me, but having watched some of your vids i can definitely see why it would work for you as an all-conditions no-nonsense solution for whatever nature throws your way. all the appointments on this build look very thoughtful and right on the money. thank you for sharing
Thanks for your comment! Yep, this is the perfect bike for me
Can’t wait for you to get to 100 k subs , Lord knows you deserve it ! ✊😎
Thanks!! Been working really hard for years to get to this point. I appreciate your support
He easily deserves a million imho.
Awww, thanks!
@@sapinva hell yeah! 🤟😎
OOOH! Can't wait for mine to get here! Supposed to get it by the end of the month. They have been great people to work with, and sounds like everything about the production bike is as good (or actually better!) than your test mule! I love that they even send touch-up paint.

Just so you know pinion gearboxes eat gear oil. Honestly I don't know where it goes. Adding a little oil every 1000 miles will keep it from being hard to pedal. Also keep the belt a little looser than recommend.
SOLD!!! I placed my order on Jan 15th. Can't wait to add her to my stable of bikes. I'm thinking the 600X will become my go-to bike for all rides.
Nice! You're gonna LOVE it. It'll be my go-to bike for all off-road bikepacking!

Yay!! Me too
love the bike , specially the chain , having a giant hard tail and a road whyte hybrid , this one looks like future dream.
Congratulations on the bike. That pinion/gates drivetrain is the dream setup.
It sure is!
Ordered mine back in December and can’t wait to ride it when it gets here. Love the videos and all you do to promote getting out there. Keep it up.
You’re in for a treat!
Good video!
Pinion are the future
Dream: bamboo frame,pinion,belt drive...thats it)
Ryan u are the most motivating guy I've ever seen. Thanks for your continued reports and insight into life. Mate your bloody brilliant
Pretty bike. Needs a Factory Float SC, dropper post, steel frame, shorter chain stays, MT-7's and much longer reach. I am really excited that the belt drive might catch on, and the prices might come down on the pinion gear box.
I’m a big fan of belt drives and I’m with you on the gear boxes. Cheers
I knew how the pinion drive worked but never realized that the chainring moved separately from the crank till you were cranking it by hand. That was interesting! Enjoy the ride Ryan!
It’s a pretty sweet design!
Thanks 😊 is the best bike in 21-22 yes
Awesome bike! I'm saving up for one. You and Priority sold me on this a few months ago. Soon....
Nice!! It’s well worth the $$

I want to put A Burley Coho XC trailer on it. What size bolt will I need for the rear wheel attachment? Oh and I ordered 2 medium sizes. I will also want to put mud guards on the front and rear tires. Will this be a problem?
Could do with some rubber grommets round the cable holes and those holes for the dropper post
She is gorgeous my friend!
Belle of the ball
Can't wait for mine to be delivered! Seeing that yours has been delivered gives me hope, I'm your size only heavier and I ordered a medium.
Right on! You’re gonna be happy with this bike!
Beautiful, wish I could afford that baby
Yeah it’s so expensive, I know that duzer is for the people but I would never be able to afford this
I hear you two, I really do. In all honesty, any bike is a great bike. If it fits, and the wheels turn, you're in good shape.
@@saulpinto4720 remember, Ryan doesn't own a car, so the savings he realizes every year on auto insurance alone almost equals a new Priority. Add to that cost of the car, maintenance and gas, and that IS a brand spanking new Priority every year!
And think of what smokers spend every year on their habit. That too is a new bike.
So if you can cut out the car, or smokes, or that daily latte (or two), then you'll save some real money for a bike!
I always told my kids I'd buy 'em a new bike every year if I had to to make sure they never, ever, EVER smoked!!! (Luckily I never had to, but they still have nice bikes nonetheless...)
I hope you can find a way to save up for that dream steed!
@@duzer Yes, so true. I have a 20 year old 26" Raley Wrangler. Will have to replace the rear derailleur soon. The worst time I had was when I freed downhill and all of a sodden the rear hub came loose and all the ball bearings scattered all over the road. Why am I still sitting here. Time to ride.
@@dudeonbike800 correct, but that has nothing to do with the price of the bike.
Now I’m just waiting for mine to arrive.
Soon!
Ryan, I don't want you to have to box that bike back up, sell it to me instead, please.
Congratz to you and the team for all the hard work! I hope every one enjoys their bike!
Thanks!!
wish I had seen this a while back planning my trip from Pittsburgh to Washington DC. Nice.
This is an amazing and beautiful bike Duzer, just wish I can afford it.
Looks like the perfect bike for what you do. I wonder if anyone considers trekking handle bars. I like them be becuse they provide several hand positions. And I can also stick my arms forward and lean over them somewhat to rest.
Just order my 600X! Thanks for the inspiration Ryan!
Right on!! You’re gonna love it
@@duzer Super excited to give it a spin through the Montana section of the Divide. My wife and I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now. Watching you spin out the miles on your Priority must have seeped through my subconscious mind, cause suddenly I just had to own one! :D
Nothing more fun than new bike day!! Nice job Priority team and Ryan!
Thanks Karen!
Epic! Never been bikepacking, always wanted to try it. Maybe this summer.
Hope you can try it sometime
Just pack your bike and go....these channels are just money making hacks......
Very good review Ryan. The bike has so many upsides and everyone's collaboration to get it done is readily evident. Nicely done. Ride-on brother!
Thanks! We’re really excited about it
3500 dollars and one get some very sweet and unique parts on this bicycle that most will over look, as most want brand names..as I love things out left field...sweetness of a bicycle..
Thanks!! It’s a sweet ride
Very excited, mine will be on its way to me here in the UK 🇬🇧 very soon. I can't wait.
Awesome! You’re gonna love it
Thanks Ryan, your GDMBR videos are what sold it to me. My son wants to do the route one year with me, not sure about Bear country though.
Whoop whoop 🥳
Fantastic Bike!!! Congrats to the new daddy!
Really cool to see a bike company working together with such a experienced bikepacker like you are.That makes so much sense!
Goooood rides with that baby (one size smaller 😉)
Yep, one size smaller, whoops! Thanks for your comment
Magic Bike! I can't wait to watch your adventures on that bike.
For me that would be the ultimate bike and my last one!
I feel the same way
Good job. Enjoy.
I am upgrading myTerraTrike recumbent with motor assist.
My age is catching up, happens @ 87
Sounds like a great idea, happy trails Ron!
Belt drive-awesome,
Inverted fork-pretty cool,
Fat tire clearance-nice,
Get Out There sticker, PRICELESS 👍
You got that right!
I really hope they will offer normal shifters for the Pinion system, because personally I just can't stand gripshift. That's my main gripe with that system, and as much as it is a very viable solution for longterm usage for something like bikepacking, I would still not have it on something like an everyday trailbike given the weight + gripshift solution.
For heavy duty use it has it's place in the market for sure, I just hope they sooner than later will provide proper shifters.
Have you ever had a bike with grip shift? I thought the same thing, but I grew to like it quickly
A very thorough review. Priority makes great low-maintenance bikes.
They sure do!
LOOKS GREAT! Mine should be here in a few weeks! Any suggestions for a wider rim wheelset to take the 2.8 tires for Baja/Desert conditions? (stock i25 a bit narrow for 2.8) Kinda wish it could come with i30ish rims to fit 2.2 up to 2.8 tires.
You are gonna LOVE it! I know that Eddie put on some 2.8 inchers just to see if it would fit, and they did with plenty of room to spare. The WTB website says that the i25's can take up to 2.8, but not ideal, not sure what the consequences are...maybe the tires would pull off the rim on tight corners? I'm not sure. I'll try to do some research!
I've also considered the possibility of wider rims that would pair well with wider tires and for more tread contact. If you change to WTB i29; i35 or i40 tough rims, the ERD(Effective Rim Diameter where the spoke nipple seats against) is within 1 mm. It's plausible that the outer rim can be switched to one of these rims and keep the original spokes and hubs. I am most likely staying with the original tires and rims to avoid adding weight, however, conditions like sand and soft terrain would benefit from a solution tailored to the environment.
@@duzer I have rcvd my bike and can confirm that 2.8 tires work OK. I mounted a Teravail Cumberland 2.6 and Teravail Coronado 2.8 (both actual measure the same 2.75") on an i40 rims and there was about 10mm clearance. No worries if the actual measure is under 2.8" but for big mud potential under 2.7 would be better.
I just found your channel and i am liking what i see. I ride bikes as well. I've never seen a belt driven bike that is awesome.
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy my content. Belt drive bikes are really cool, I've been riding them for about 3 years now
Nike bikes Ryan I saw you in their site and the prices are really good, see thanks to you I am looking for a bike
Any concerns with getting parts for that fork if something breaks while on a trip? I spec more common parts on my bikes so if I need something it's easier to find in stock parts.
I actually don’t know the answer to that. I’d email the guys at Wren.
Congratulations on your new “baby”! She is a beauty! 🚲
Ordered mine today from Singapore,
Awesome!!! You’re gonna love it
Ryan, you vids are like a cure for the covid stay at home blues! Loved watching Nepal this trip!
I'm really happy that I can keep you entertained during these months
@@duzer Not only entertained but inspired, not just you but also those you meetup with!
It is very hard to do adventures with a child needing 24/7 care, but we have done car road trips in India. I have to start documenting them!
My bike slogan......"keep moving forward". excited to see my 600x delivered in a couple of weeks!! Hope to break it in on the C&O Canal Towpath, then RAGBRAI ! see you all out there!
Love that! You’re in for a treat with the 600x
I’m doing the gap trail this summer. Just bought a trek checkpoint to do it with. But this bike looks like a treat.
Great delivery Ryan - no ventouse required . Super smart bike !! Energy , enthusiasm and humour.... the Duzer is back - can’t wait to see you out and about when circumstances allow !! Shame we don’t have a priority stockist in the U.K. ( yet ) !!! Peace out !
Thanks! I’m so excited about this bike.
How is the WTB Pure saddle? Did you have any discomfort at all during long ride?
Standover clearance is usually done with your cycling shoes on which will effectively make you a bit taller so you might clear the Large frame ok.
I tried with shoes on as well, I can certainly swing my leg over and ride it, but it’s a bit too big.
@@duzer Your tire choice will also affect the clearance. If you go Medium make sure your stack and reach measurements will work for the Medium size. You might need a different stem length from stock.
Great price point for a duty purpose bike!
Congrats, Ryan and Priority! She's lovely. I sure wish they made one in steel! Ride on. Looks awesome
All my mountain bikes have been aluminum and they ride like a dream. Not sure what the obsession with steel is?
@@duzer Please know... I'm not knocking the bike. My only uptick for steel is that if you crack your aluminum frame, someone will usually be able to weld it. You cracked the rack on your Trek on the Divide. If that was your frame? You'd have been in a heap of trouble. That said... I'm not knocking the Priority. It's a beautiful bike and one hell of an accomplishment. I love it.
Congratulations on the finished bike at long last! I'm saving up for my 600x, but I'm gonna take the train to NYC and ride that sucker back to Florida! Screw shipping, I am the porter!
That that plan!!!
I like this one and your other with fenders on it
Does it come with the "Get Out There" logo? 😂
Love your excitement!
Hmmm, lemme check again ;)
I hope that the logo is factory issue for all.
Hello, I want one bike that I can do a little mountain biking AND is comfortable to ride around town. Do you think this bike fits the bill?
Very excited in the queue to get my new bike! I ordered a medium 😀. Phoned priority today - just to check and it’s funny watching the video of you explaining how to measure you Ryan are a similar height to me so wasn’t sure how you ended up with a large. Will be getting a dropper post for sure. Great bike. Looking forward to getting mine can you tell 😘
=o I've never seen upside down forks on a bicycle before, I've seen them on motorbikes loads and always wondered why no ones ever put one on a bike, that's so cool! =)
Yep, they’re cool!
Very happy for you Ryan. It’s a great looking bike. Maybe one will be in my future at some point. Enjoy it.
It's so nice! Thanks
